Sweet Sin | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 162: SWEET SIN

With unholy fury, two soles hurry

into a dimly lit enclave,

and like sinful souls speeding to hell's abyss,

they get rid of senses and fabrics,

panting like a troubadour athirst,

gasping for pleasure like air.

Love-making, they call it,

a failing and rising of hip-sters

to the humming and moaning of soundtracks.

She gives in to the pain of a first time,

pangs embracing everlasting bliss

in a matrimony, unholy.

True, it sublime it is,

but don't you think 'tis sin?

Beyond the phallic and vulva quest

are selfish desires we could put to rest.

We could of this hormonal unrest

fly moral flags in swift conquest,

hold hands in solemn quietness

and sing sacred songs and solos

until our carnal-clothed souls,

in virtues halved and luster spiced

be joined in sinful wholes,

in a matrimony, holy.

Wait!

It's worth it!

Processional hymns,

exchanges of rings,

vows that bind and kisses that are real,

should echo the herald of this permitted sin.

Cherubs, we ought to be in the arms of God,

Aphrodite, we'd rather be in each other's arms;

our souls unclad,

our sanity hurl aside,

our sensuality flawed,

for the allure we've seen?

for the sweet taste of sin?

As sweet as sin, this is

it tastes even sweeter in matrimony.

Wait!

Fiction | The Tripod Effect

THE TRIPOD EFFECT The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies" "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat" After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?" "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Letter To My Son

Dear Son Try to forget that nothing waits in the dark, raise your shoulder high wave off the frea and step into that lane. Won't you rather be gone in there than stay out here playing the coward? Get up now, son everyone falls. #Pengician #SSA http://bit.ly/2haEhoj

RIP: Return If Possible (Ode to my High School crush)

She would wink at me from the corner of her eyes. She would dare to slap the tallest in my class if he dares bully me for penning his name in my list of noise makers. She would share her pen when mine is spent. She would help me take notes when sick I lay in bed. She played my advocate even when I least deserve it. Her height, though intimidating earned more of my admiration. Her fingers Her palms though long and bold compared to my petite own were my favourite to hold. She was loud and noisy not never made the list. She would speak Igbo and wink 'you dare not write my name' Her drawings, I did when others I snub. JSS 3 to SSS 1 I crushed on this pretty girl But I was too shy to ink that poem. I left without letting you know how much I care. Had no time to appreciate your kind gestures undeserved defense... You were my crush. Augusta, When I found first Facebook you were the first I searched to add... In vain I searched You were not found. I stalked the walls of our cl...
